I haven't seen the lake tank image being used as a meme anywhere, except now or maybe I have to explore the world of memes some more.

Hats off to all who helped each other find this once lost story from history.

i'm aware of the "senpai of the pool" version, but probably i'm biased... I'm a huge WW2 nerd.

You're not getting your BM degree, not with that attitude.

I am feeling the humor behind this sentence if only I knew what BM is.

Ha. Knowyourmeme.com has some Everybody Draw Mohammed Day stuff which might not go down well with the government there. I doubt they are worried about tanks.
